Developing the Thud online game and websites is a privilege and a lot of fun. There are those out there, a special class of Druid, who help with this by doing testing, support, teaching people how to play the game, advising and much, much more. For these folks we are ever so appreciative and we will be showing this in a visible way very soon. However, unfortunately it also costs lots of money and worktime to host and develop Thud. Some in the community have come to us interested in contributing towards Thud development financially so with a view to seeing the situation taken care of in the best way possible we have added a means to donate towards Thudgame development.
Any amount donated will be appreciated greatly by the developers. We understand the sacrifice some would have to make to give anything and for this reason, that's not the end of it. Anyone who donates here will be immortalised as Thudgame Founding Patrons and will receive a high-quality certificate saying so which they can print and mount in a frame. We will also display their names on a special Founding Patrons page on this site for the world to see. As Founding Patrons they will be able to display an Avatar on the Thudgame forum a badge indicating that they are a Founding Patron and the level of their patronage.
Every Founding Patron will receive a Thudguild membership equivalent to the amount of Guild membership subscription their donation would have purchased.
Furthermore, folks who donate £100 or more will have their names displayed near the top of the Founding Patrons on the Silver Level, and with a £200 or more donation, the donor's name will be found above that in the Gold Level. £500 or more will place the donor on the top rock; him/her be Diamond!
All totals will be cumulative; thus someone who donates £100 this year and £25 a month will be promoted from the Silver Level to the Gold level as soon as their donations total £200, and so forth. Any business or other VAT registered entities will be issued with a VAT receipt by our bookkeeper Mr Hardhelm (Shortarms) Deeppurseson who has assured us, after being tied up by the feet and slowly lowered head first towards a vat (a ha!) of molten lead, hastily borrowed from an alchemist's Guild experiment about to go horribly wrong, that all relevant, sentient entities will benefit from this policy including even trolls and troll-run businesses.
